Drum It With Brummet

  "A friend and I attended a group hand drum workshop a few years ago and had so much fun that we started weekly lessons with Dave. His studio is full of drums and he encourages students to try them all.  He is good at assessing skill levels and accommodating individual students within the lesson to keep each one learning and interested.   He and his wife and business partner Lillian generously sourced a beautiful and very reasonably priced set of Congas for me.  I now enjoy lessons with Congas, bongos and djembe. In addition to being a super talented drummer, Dave is also a skilled and reasonably priced drum doctor.  I have had him tighten my djembes and put new heads on my bongos. He was fast and the bongos sound amazing.  Our little town has so much musical talent and Angle Hill Studio fits right in". ~ Janice Spetifore ~~~   Find us online via:  https://taplink.cc/brummet  ~~~ 

       Answering Your Q's Q: Hey Dave... What is your marketing and communications experience within the music industry?  A: My music-related marketing experience started in the mid 80’s as a member of a working  "Top 40" cover band, when it was easy to find gigs. This was before the Internet brought us social networking and social media platforms, and so the band members did most marketing. I have always been the guy in the band that took on the role of marketing.  Back in the mid 80’s there was limited resources for us as self-promoters and most of it was hands-on or direct marketing.  This meant dividing up the task of visiting local stores and putting up posters, giving out t-shirts, distributing business cards, making phone calls, mailing out demo's, building word-of-mouth, attaining media coverage, getting radio attention... and just getting ourselves out there to establishing a presence.  By a presence I mean playing in many diffe...

  A Little YouTube Dave Brummet  created this beautiful 34 second video trailer for our cookbook,  From One Small Garden - Over 300 Delicious Nutritious Recipes , recently... and I am so proud of what he created.  * He has, in fact, created 3 different trailers for this book - this one focuses on the fact that what we choose to consume has a direct impact on poverty, local economy, the purity of our water, the health of our land, small business and our own well being. Our diet can have a positive impact on the world! I totally love what Dave created & I hope you like it too !  https://youtu.be/dS35enClPRA ~~~   Discover the Brummet's Books on Amazon :  https://amazon.com/author/lillianbrummet - or -   Find them online via:  https://taplink.cc/brummet  https://linktr.ee/LillianBrummet

Our long time online writing friend of some 20 years or so Donna Sundblad invited us for an interview on her Book Hookup Blog r ecently.  Donna, in fact, runs several blogs. In between managing those, she is also a published author and a book reviewer. That's one busy gal! Dave Brummet joins us in this discussion, which is always a rare treat - as Lillian is usually doing media appearances on her own, due to Dave's schedule constraints.   His insight into imagery, graphics, web maintenance and drum teaching are fantastic.   Check out the interview @: https://bookhookup.blogspot.com/2023/03/interview-with-authors-lillian-and.html ~~~   Discover the Brummet's Books on Amazon :  https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0845RLK1X  Find Them Online via :  https://taplink.cc/brummet  https://linktr.ee/LillianBrummet ~~~

      Answering Your Q's Q: Through your experience, how has the music industry changed? How has music marketing changed? A: That is an interesting question; I've been in the industry for more than 3 decades and things have changed so much. When I first started out in my late-teens as a professional drummer there were live gigs to be had in almost every bar and pub and a lot of restaurants.  In the 80’s and 90’s, with the invention of the compact disc and emergence of new technology, bands were able to use more robust and affordable equipment to record albums themselves. The compact disc served as the launching pad for the digital age of music, and the next stop would be Peer-To-Peer (P2P) file sharing, also known as “the beginning of the end for record sales.”  As far as the change in marketing - most bands can now record their own CD with software and a bit of recording gear.  They can Photoshop their own graphics for covers and promotional materials...

Today we are celebrating this feedback from one of Dave's happy customers : "It's always delightful to be in the presence of a passionate musician! Dave and Lillian deliver professional and impeccable products and services, and they are always generous with their time and resources. Lovely people!
